A cement mixer heading to a job 8 a.m. March 12 overturned while turning onto Gills Neck Road, blocking traffic for about two hours.

Edwin Manual Figueroa-Maldonado, 31, of Dover turned right onto Gills Neck Road from Kings Highway when his load shifted and the truck overturned, said Master Cpl. Gary Fournier of the Delaware State Police.

The truck landed in both lanes of Gills Neck Road, he said.

Figueroa-Maldonado was properly restrained; he was treated for minor injuries and released from Beebe Healthcare.
